"Ghoti", spelled "Ghotis" (ゴーティス Gōtisu) in the OCG, is a World Premiere archetype of WATER Fish monsters which first debuted in Power of the Elements.

Etymology

Ghoti is a proposed alternative spelling of the English word "fish" used in an 1855 letter between two authors, used to highlight the disparity between written and spoken English. It is derived from the "gh" in "tough" (pronounced as an "f" sound), the "o" in "women" (pronounced as an "i" sound), and the "ti" in "nation" (pronounced as a "sh" sound). Most "Ghoti" monsters have names that are anagrams of words related to fish in various languages.

Design

The "Ghoti" archetype is comprised of even Leveled WATER Fish monsters, with the Level 2 monsters all being Tuner monsters. The archetype's non-Tuner monsters all have 0 DEF, and starting with the Level 4 monster having 1500 ATK, each non-Tuner monster from Levels 4 to 8 has 600 more ATK than the monsters that are 2 Levels below them. Aesthetically, the archetype's monsters seem to be large extraterrestrial lifeforms resembling various types of sea creatures. They appear to swim through outer space akin to the deep ocean.
